Constitution amendment: Senate primitive, stone age – Itse Sagay

Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, Prof. Itse Sagay has described Nigerian Senate as primitive and stone age.

This came as the proposal for women to express themselves in the polity was voted against by the Senate in the process of the constitution amendment.

Reacting to the votes, Sagay told newsmen in Abuja that “The Senators have demonstrated their hostilities to women and the best thing that can be said about them is that they have no regard for women.

 “In our society, we cannot make progress without our women folk.

“In fact, if you notice, where there is equal opportunity, women even tend to do better.

“So, pulling them down as it is happening now will have devastating effects on our progress and development.

“I would say the Senate’s reaction to women is extremely primitive and stone age.”
